To unsubscribe or not…

This past week I have asked the question, should I unsubscribe? You know you dropped your business card in for a free drawing to win something you think you want, and then you get their newsletter instead the next week. We have all been on both sides of this table and to me that is fine; you never know where a powerful nugget may come from.

So when you start receiving their newsletter you add them to your list for your newsletter, why not they used your card from the drawing. I don’t see an issue with this, as we can build alliances, collaborations and even get fantastic ideas on marketing from others.

These past few weeks however I have witnessed some newsletter senders removing themselves off others lists, no big deal or is it? I think it is really rude to add someone to your list then because you are too big or you got what you needed remove yourself from their list and then they continue sending their newsletters and sales pages to you…mmmm

My opinion is if you have someone on your list and they have you on theirs leave it alone. We do not have to read everything we receive, so why not show courtesy to others in the entrepreneur world. I receive several newsletters and I do not read them all every time, however when I do glance or read them there is always a nugget or a spark of a new idea for myself.


So what is your take on this, subscribe or unsubscribe and why?
